Just a quick one to share SebsatiAn’s triumphant return for Ed Banger records. Honestly couldn’t get enough of the french label this time last year (was Breakbot, Breakbot, Breakbot in my flat) and now it seems Busy P’s boyo has got right back on it.

This track goes in a slightly different direction from what I’ve come to expect of SebastiAn (always seem to think of ‘Motor’ or ‘H.A.L’ –  real headaches ‘bangers’) but that’s no bad thing. Am SO enjoying  playing this loud in the car, windows open, sun out…

Happy spring holidays all.

Despite it being Paris fashion week, Dont Walk approaching rapidly and clothes playing on my mind all I can think about is music. So, I present to you Youandewan. Beautiful, well thought out, atmospheric music – relieving work/hangover/sartorial anxiety. Continue reading

First trip to the library of this term and I have already succeeded in making the girl next to me leave after 20mins. Success.

Anyway, thought I’d share a little discovery. Digital Farm Animals are still pretty unknown, Continue reading

Here’s a little something that I’ve only just discovered (its been about for a few weeks now) to take your minds of the snow related chaos gripping the nation. Its only precipitation after all.

Breakbot is back! Soooo keen to share my favourite frenchie’s remix of Matthew Dear’s creepy-sexy track “You Put A Smell On Me” with you all.

Monsieur Breakbot has magicked away most of the dark dirtiness of the original (which is definitely worth a listen too) and made it all light and disco-y, as only he can do. Enjoy!

I heard this 5 hours into a long drive back to St Andrews last weekend. Driving on an empty road, in the half-light, through the Lake District. Just perfect.

Kenton Slash Demon are Danish and I think track really reflects a Nordic approach to electronic music that really appeals to me – especially at this time of the year.

The video, incidentally, is pretty beautiful too.

I just thought i’d share this band because, to be honest, i’ve never heard anything like it. Caravan palace is essentially an electro French swing band that combines a variety of instrumental and vocal techniques with electronic ones. The final product sounds like a psychedelic circus…but in a good way! Continue reading



Why Americans Refer to All Dance Music As “Techno” by Dan

Let me start out by saying, I absolutely positively irrevocably hate the term “techno” that all friends back home use to refer to everything we civilized people here listen to. Electro is not techno. House is not techno. Dubstep is not techno. Drum n’ Bass is not techno. Yes, its all dancey, but Techno for everything that its given us, frankly, sucks.

For all of its fallacies, it will also always win. Every genre, eventually, becomes techno – and we like it anyway!
Dubtrance is becoming huge. Just look at Magnetic Man and Katy B. We’ll here’s the third nail in the electrostep coffin:

Enjoy your eulogy, dubstep, for you do not have long.

PS this song is absolutely and completely sick.



Welcome Home by Dan

First, an apology: At SaintAndre.ws we strive to keep up to date as much as we possibly can. Unfortunately, we all are students and are subject to deadlines and busy periods throughout the year. Rest assured, though, we are back and we’re not going anywhere.

Now, to the fun stuff:

Hope everyone’s break was amazing and all that it could be. A lot of people have for the most part, gotten over the fashion shows (scars healing, friendships mending, hangovers finally susbising etc) but there is one thing thats pretty much universally asked: where can we get the music? Well my friends, the time has come to talk of just that. Below is the music from both FS and DW with direct download links. Enjoy this beautiful ear candy and next time someone tells you St. Andrews doesn’t have a music scene, you show them these.
